Peter, you're not looking carefully enough, the measurements are in HANZAB
vol.3, page 584, middle of second column, last table shows measurements for
(6) ssp nilotica and (7) ssp affinis.
Thanks Jeff...that is where I looked, but can only see size of macrotarsa,
not affinis......!?!
Just wording saying it's alot smaller - which of course it is.
Thanks and Cheers
Peter

Hi all,
I've tried asking around and still haven't managed to get, what I thought
was a simple answer.
I have perused HANZAB and field guides, and tried Google..... I just cannot
find a size description for the migratory Gull-billed Tern, affinis, for
comparison purposes ( the closest says "smaller Gull-billed.."). Have seen
affinis often, but I'd just like a size - like they give birds in the field
guides. Nothing scientifically involved, thanks. In other words, overall
length, not wingspan, or bill length, or..!
Much appreciated, thanks birders.
Cheers
Peter Madvig
